Poem: Earthday Twenty-Two of 30 #NaPoWriMo

Bird flits to ground, industriously foraging For bits of thread and broken branches Anything to fill the holes, to make a home In this seemingly inhospitable place Yet the arms of this ancient cactus hold The nests of a dozen years, protecting The offspring of a dozen doves, nay, A dozen more, for even as this one flits about Others sit atop eggs laid a day ago, a Week ago; this succulent apartment plays Host to many, warding off threats of Neighbor cats; no feline dare climb its Thorny heights, nor canine follow Each year a new branch, each spring New blossoms; this habitat a natural Barrier to winds and unwelcome sounds Of human life - this weathered wall A fence that makes good neighbors The bird flits back, one last bit Before she settles in, her world Her own creation

A Little About Suzy

I earned my M.Div. at Claremont School of Theology in Claremont, California, but I learned most everything else from this thing called life!

I love life and I love to write about it and create in it. I blog about all the things, pretty much: food, spirituality, religion, relationships, art, books, the sun, the sky, and the stars...and I make art, too!
